Yes - but... no, not really. I was still myself - Taair. I still had many adjacent experiences to ones I have had before. But... in a different setting and place.
I also was not a human, but instead a foxian. As far as I was aware, I was near a hundred years of age. [ which. you know. foxian. like the fox guy. gee i wonder. ] It's a bit strange, even now. I feel as though I have a foot in two different lives.
[ there's a rueful little laugh to that, and he nods. ]
Yes - the four of us were together, as if it was our first meeting, and bonded over the time we spent there as opposed to the time we've spent here. The only thing that truly drew us together was that...well, that we enjoy each other's company, mostly, and that we had our halos.
[ there's a little uneasiness to it, but... yeah. that sound about right. ]
It was very strange. But... at least in one case - I was glad for it, when I returned. Someone died on the battlefield, and to see them here walking and breathing... it was a relief, to say the least.

[ since it helped them find each other. ]
It was just the four of us who did - no others. Not even people who we saw that we had known in heaven...

[ halos are the new sandworm cave shadows ]
The ones without halos, they were just there as scenery, more like?
